It defaults to VHDL, but you can still do schematic design if you want. I've done it with the board I mentioned above. I haven't taken the time to learn VHDL yet and really I prefer the schematic at this point as it feels like I have a little more control over it. Of course, once you start to get really complicated designs then designing a schematic starts to become cumbersome or even impossible.
